Buyer's brief ✓ SOURCES VERIFIED

CertificationsHACCP: not publicly verified on maker site. Halal: Marukawa maker page makes NO halal claim, but multiple third-party halal directories (Mustakshif, daganghalal, Lazada MY) list Marukawa Fusen/Marble bubble gum as halal/halal-certified and it is widely sold in Muslim-majority SE Asia; gum is gelatin-free. Treated as ingredient-suitable / directory-listed, not maker-certifier confirmed -> not publicly halal-tagged here (when in doubt, leave out).
